The needs of the future – XVI Warsaw International Banking Summit and the XII Insurance Forum

27 June 201814 September 2018

Regulations, restrictions, personal data and protection, what connects these words? Obviously GDPR, the EU’s directive which came into effect on the 25th of May this year. There was lots of preparation, a bit of fear and not many details. What came of it? Maybe there have already been the first penalties? All of this can be heard during XVI Warsaw International Banking Summit and XII Insurance Forum, which will be taking place 18-19 October 2018 at The Westin Warsaw Hotel. The first phase of GDPR implementation is behind us, which is why the autumn edition of the event cannot be without examples of how the largest companies have managed with the regulations regarding the exacerbations of the processing of personal data. What else will be on the agenda?

The talent war
The work market has come to the situation where human resources have become a big challenge. It affects every sector, including banking and insurance. After 25 years of transformation, it has become more than demographic, emigration has become widespread, our economy is quite different, and people are getting richer. How can we persuade young talents so that they would want to develop in financial sectors? One of the ideas which came up during the Advisory Board meetings, which were chaired by Mariusz Grendowicz and Artur Olech, is to show young people how many innovations find implementation in banks and insurance companies. Examples of such modern and futuristic implementations will be presented by the biggest experts of the sector who will be present during the upcoming edition of the Warsaw International Banking Summit and Insurance Forum in Warsaw. What innovations will they be talking about?

Don’t sleep through the revolution

In times where everything is happening so fast, it’s not surprising that the newest innovative technologies get to the offices and become daily routine. The need for new products is high, so during the autumn meeting, there can’t be a lack of examples of implementing artificial intelligence, blockchain or IoT. Progress also brings threats with it. Cyberattacks are becoming more and more common. Does the insurance sector have to create a special policy for the event of hacking attacks and customer data leaks, especially taking into account GDPR? Maybe they should consider how to protect themselves from cyber attacks with banks?

Lots of solutions are coming into effect, and the financial market is not ready for them, even hypothetically. In the Smart City era, we think more and more about autonomic, shared cars, but who will insure the car from accidents and pay compensation to the passengers? Is the insurance market ready for it? The group of authorities that will be at the Warsaw International Banking Summit and Insurance Forum will debate on what the needs of the future are and how insurance companies and banks will look like in the years to come. In which direction is the world aiming and is it possible to find 5 current megatrends by observing the biggest players on the market? If so, where’s Poland?

Participation at the XVI Warsaw International Banking Summit and XII Insurance Forum has been confirmed by:

Anna Trzecińska, Vicepresident of the Management Board, NBP

Jerzy Kwieciński, Ministry of Investment and Economic Department

Agata Strzelecka, Vicepresident of the Management Board, Alior Bank

Piotr Czarnecki, President of the Management Board, Raiffeisen Bank Polska

Przemysław Kończal, President of the Management Board, Santander Consumer Bank

Thanks to such meetings as the XVI Warsaw International Banking Summit and XII Insurance Forum, the prognosis for the sector will be better and better. During the autumn edition of the event, there’ll be no lack of discussion on regulations, economy 4.0, distribution models and methods of financing the economy. The advantage of this conference is that the leaders of both the banking and insurance industries as well as fintechs are meeting here. It is always good to exchange experiences, because the market is dynamically changing, in the digital world the boundaries between banks, insurers and fintechs are blurred. The market is also changing from the regulatory side and a lot of things are coming. This common thinking and exchange of views is always good added Wojciech Sass, President of the Board, Nationale-Nederlanden.
The congress is produced within the MMC Poland group, organizing prestigious congress’, conferences, workshops and business training in Poland dedicated to specialists, managers and company boards.
